Myself and a friend are going on the 23rd oct, so you are before us, lucky you, I just want to get it over and done with so I can start getting rid of the pounds. Are you starting on your pre op diet soon? I spoke to Tullia this morning and she told me to go on a low fat diet for two weeks. Are you getting a little nervous now?, I think about it all the time Im sure i'm getting a bit of a bore to all my friends and family.

Hi jojoyoung, yes I am getting a bit nervous now and the days are whizzing past, but I just want it over and done with because its all im thinking about lol. Yes I have now done 5 days pre-op diet and doing quite well, I am just having slimfast meals and a healthy meal in the evenings.

Im sure you are not boring your friends and family lol im sure they understand the need for you to talk about it and your op is not that far away now either:ohmy:

Guys don't panic about half a pound or even a pound, emptying your bladder and bowel can clear that easily, I always try to weigh in birthday suit after I've been - not easy right enough but it can make a huge difference especially when you are on liquids.< /p>

1 litre of Water = 1 kg in weight

Hey Naomi, dont worry hun, your body is going through all sorts of changes at the moment and you will lose weight. It makes sense that if you are only having 400 cals at the most you will lose the 1bs. This is quite a common problem according to the other sites i have been reading, so you are not alone and you need to stay positive and know that it will eventually kick in and start working for you. Just losing the 9lbs is a very good start so dont beat yourself up about it.:crying:

ooooooooo poor you Vanessa, just what you need right now, ear infections, hope you feel better soon:ohmy:

Good on ya for getting extra, bet you felt cheated, esp as it was your last pud for a while lol, when you go there again you will be saying ooooooo thats far to much for my little tummy lol, can i have a childs portion please :crying:

I havent gone for the package so not waiting for confirmation, im making my own arrangements, I wasnt aware about them at the time of booking although i did get an email saying that the consultation had been made for 8 oclock on the night before the op with Dr Chris and he then confirmed it to Bridget and thats that lol, im sure everything will be ok though they seem pretty reliable and know what they are doing - I hope:scared2:

Hi everyone

Only 5 days to go til my op!!!! Not doing very well on pre op, I am trying to get in all my favourite meals before its liquids and mush for a while.

I have got my list of everything I need, but have a question about Vitamins, how can I take them if you can't swallow them whole or chew them?? I know it sounds daft but really want to make sure I'm not missing out on anything.

My ten year old daughter asked my husband if I was going to die, trying so hard to explain everything to her but it really made me think for a while if I was doing the right thing, but then the likelyhood of me dying from obesity would be greater than the op itself!

Don´t stress about putting a pound on here or there. It will soon drop off with a few extra as an added bonus. I went through a two week stint where nothing happened on the scale and then whooops it dropped down. This is normal. Also remember the quicker you lose the weight, more chance you will have sagging skin.

Take one day at a time. live your life and use your tool to your advantage. I´m trying really hard at the moment to get over my head hunger at night, it really is hard.

      Hey everyone!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
